SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth team up as the title characters to take down an evil witch played by an icy-cold Charlize Theron. Let’s just hope it’s fairer than this year’s other revisionist Snow White tale, “Mirror Mirror.”

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth team up as the title characters to take down an evil witch played by an icy-cold Charlize Theron. Let’s just hope it’s fairer than this year’s other revisionist Snow White tale, “Mirror Mirror.”

MOONRISE KINGDOM

Wes Anderson follows up his Oscar-nominated “Fantastic Mr. Fox” with another of his signature surreal comedies, this one centering on a pair of outcast 12-year-olds who run away together just as a hurricane is bearing down on the New England island they’ve taken refuge on. Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Francis McDormand and Edward Norton co-star as the bumbling adults searching for them. FOR

GREATER GLORY

Rejoice all of you clamoring for an epic retelling of the Cristero religious war that rocked Mexico during the 1920s. Expect lots of blood and speechifying from the likes of Ruben Blades as dictatorial Mexican President Plutarco Calles and Andy Garcia as his saintly opponent, Gen. Enrique Gorostieta Velarde, a devout atheist who fights in honor of his Catholic wife. Eva Longoria co-stars.

HIGH SCHOOL

Yet another cookie-cutter stoner comedy, distinguishable only for the presence of Oscar-winner Adrien Brody playing a pimped-up pot dealer. ELENA Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev tries his hand at neo-noir with a tawdry family tale involving cash, betrayal and possibly death, as it relates to a rich, aging Muscovite and his social-climbing wife.

THE INTOUCHABLES

French filmmakers Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano have created a certified crowd-pleaser with their inspiring, fact-based tale about a young man from the ghetto (Omar Sy, César Award winner for Best Actor) unselfishly tending to an aristocrat (François Cluzet) who lost the use of his arms and legs in a paragliding accident.
